Abstract

The space of measured laminations ML(Σ)\mathcal{ML}(\Sigma) associated to a topological surface Σ\Sigma of genus gg with nn punctures is an integral piecewise linear manifold of real dimension 6g6+2n6g-6+2n. There is also a natural symplectic structure on ML(Σ)\mathcal{ML}(\Sigma) defined by Thurston. The integral and symplectic structures define a pair of measures on ML(Σ)\mathcal{ML}(\Sigma) which are known to be proportional. The projective class of these measures on ML(Σ)\mathcal{ML}(\Sigma) is called the Thurston measure. In this note we compute the ratio between two normailzations of the Thurston measure.
